Chikwawa police have arrested 34-year-old Moffat Kudyabwino for robbing at businessman’s house at Kachewere village under Senior Chief N’gabu on Thursday last week.
This comes after police arrested other six suspects last Friday and also recovered a gun.
According to Chikwawa Police Station, Public Relations Officer, Constable Foster Benjamin, last Thursday night, the thugs stormed a businessman’s house identified as Kaunda Maguza where they demanded cash sourced from the day’s sales at his grocery shop.
Benjamin said at the time of incident, the thugs were armed with an AK 47 rifle replete with 4 live bullets and panga knives.
“The criminals went on beating Maguza and his wife in their foiled robbery, leading to the wife’s cries for help.
“The thugs took off as neighbours came out to the victims’ rescue,” said Benjamin.
The police publicist said officers from Ngabu Police Unit launched a manhunt and netted the six suspects before recovering an AK47 rifle, 4 live ammunitions, 2 empty cartridges and 3 panga knives.
The seventh suspect was nabbed on Tuesday at Bangula in Nsanje after being on the run for some days.
Police also managed to recover a muzzle loader from the seventh suspect.
All the seven suspects will appear in court soon once investigations are finalized.
